after the foreign minister sergei lavrov accused nato of making the situation worse. joining me is christopher hill, four-time ambassador, most recently serving as ambassor to iraq. let's start by talking about the sanctions imposed by the u.s. state department this morning. will russia take this kind of visa ban seriously, you think? >> i think, frankly, the sanctions imposed by the u.s. really have to do with -- it's more of a washington story. the administration wants to get out ahead of the congress. otherwise the congress will get out ahead of the united states. i don't think these sanctions will have much of an effect on the way the russians really think about it. i don't think they are coercive in the sense of the russians will hit the side of the head with the palm of their hands and say, we have to change our ways. it's more punitive and a way to show the u.s. isn't just sitting there. the u.s. is doing something. the real action is on the diplomatic side right now. >> how so? what do you think is -- needs to be done there and what do you think can be accompl
